Answer:

4 feet 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is 4 2/3 feet high.    

We also know that there are 12 inches in a foot.  

So to get how many inches in 2/3 of a foot, we divide by the denominator  3  into 12  

12 divided by 3 = 4  

Then we have to multiply that by 2, because 4 is only 1/3 and we need 2/3.  

So 4 x 2 = 8.

Now we know the tower is 4 feet 8 inches tall.  

Now we go to the antenna which is 1/4 foot tall.  

Again 12 inches make a foot.  

Divided the denominator of 4 this time into 12  

12 divided by 4 = 3  

So 1/4 foot = 3 inches.

Finally we have to add the two:

4 feet  8 inches + 3 inches = 4 feet 11 inches
